First Look: 2017 Honda Civic Si

At Keyes Honda, we have long awaited the unveiling of the new
2017 Honda Civic Si. Our wait finally ended when Honda showcased the Honda Civic
Si prototype at the Los Angeles Auto Show last week. Promised as the “fastest,
most powerful Si yet”, the 2017 Honda Civic Si is packed
with numerous advanced performance features.

Offered in coupe and sedan body styles, the Honda Civic Si will
be equipped with a 1.5-liter turbocharged, direct-injected dual variable cam
timing engine. The engine will be backed exclusively by a short-shifting
six-speed manual transmission. The concept previewed at the Los Angeles Auto
Show features a full Honda Factory Performance (HFP) aero kit complete with
front and rear splitters and a rear spoiler. It also sported a center-mounted
dual exhaust with polygonal tips and turbine-like 19-inch HFP forged alloy
wheels wrapped in 235/35-size performance tires.

The interior featured sports seats with red stitching and
embroidered Honda Civic Si logos. Red stitching is also used on the door,
panels, steering wheel and shift boot, which is topped by an aluminum shift
knob. The gauge cluster features a red TFT display, and the lighting for the
audio system is also red. Finishing off the cabin are aluminum sport pedals and
Dry Metal Carbon trim around the instrument panel and across the dash.

Honda announced that the 2017 Honda Civic Si is very close to
production, so we hope that all of the features in the prototype will be
available in the final production models. While we now not so patiently wait
for the Honda Civic Si to hit our showroom, we’ll be checking out
the current Honda car models
in our extensive inventory, including the 2017 Honda Civic.
If you are interested in learning more about the Honda Civic Si or are
interested in purchasing a Honda vehicle, please stop by our Van Nuys, CA area dealership. We hope
to see you soon!
